Everything was set up outside on the beach. We had the hotel catering the food. They had brought the gazebo. Jules had called in a favor and gotten a exclusive string quartet to come provide the music. Everything was set up perfectly. Then why did I feel like this wasn't the way it was supposed to be? Why did I feel like I was making a mistake.
Jules would be back just prior to the ceremony starting, so I had most of the day all to myself. I spent it, sitting in front of the mirror. Jules had my makeup and hair crew moved in that I took on tours with me, but I didn't remember anyone's face. I had no idea who any of them were.
I looked gorgeous. But it wasn't right. I looked down at the ring and pulled it off of my finger, dropping it on the vanity. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. I started humming softly before the words started coming out silently. "You sheltered me from harm. Kept me warm. Kept me waaaarm. Gave my life to me, set me free. Set me freeee.
"Finest years I ever knew. All the years I had with you. And I would give everything I own. I give up my life, my heart, my home. I would give everything I own... Just to haaave you once again." But then my eyes widened. This song wasn't on any of my albums, because I haven't made it yet. I wrote it for Dante. I wrote it for him when we were apart...
No, not really apart. I wrote it for him... We were fighting about something. I couldn't remember what, but it must have been huge. I still loved him, and it prayed that he still loved me, but I could never know. That's why I wrote the song, to tell him I loved him. But I had never sang it to him.
But then I remembered, I had planned on releasing it and dedicating it to him. And then it hit me. I loved him. I loved him more than I could ever love anyone. It didn't matter what had happened to us. I loved him. But what was I supposed to do. I was scheduled to marry Jules in a few short hours. There was no getting out of it...
